BEHAVIORAL

CARES Intervention

Nurse navigators and masters levels counselors will meet with participants up to 10 times each (10 navigation and 10 counseling) over a 6 month period. The number of sessions will be determined by the length of the patient's treatment. The timing of each session will be guided by a regular assessment to reduce the time from diagnosis to initiation of treatment and the time between subsequent treatments. Sessions will occur at key transition points during treatment to target the factors associated with treatment delays, reduced Quality of Care and poor Patient Reported Outcomes
